ZOMBIE SISTER STRATEGY

Chapter 54: The little Follower

When Lin Qiao was picking strawberries, Wu Yueling followed behind her without doing anything else. Lin Qiao couldn’t sense her thoughts or read her mind, so she had completely no idea what this kid was thinking about.

Lin Qiao picked seven or eight strawberries to fill the bowl, then brought them to the lakeside to wash them. Wu Yueling followed her to the lakeside and silently watched her wash the strawberries, then took over the bowl from her hands.

After handing the strawberries to the kid, Lin Qiao turned and prepared to water the strawberry plants. When she came back to the lakeside with a bucket, she found that Wu Yueling was still following behind her silently.

She stopped and looked at Wu Yueling, who was looking at her as well, her bright eyes widely opened.

Lin Qiao found no emotion from the child’s eyes, and couldn’t sense her thoughts either, so she didn’t know what the kid wanted.

Therefore, she turned around to continue fetching water while Wu Yueling following behind her. When she got back to water the strawberry plants, Wu Yueling still followed her. After that, she again went to the lakeside to fetch more water, and Wu Yueling was still following her. She moved between the lakeside and the strawberry field many times, and the child followed her the whole while.

Seeing this, Lin Qiao felt speechless.

Having finished watering the strawberry plants, she turned around and lowered her head to look at Wu Yueling. The latter kept her head raised, staring at Lin Qiao with an adorable look.

‘What on earth is this kid thinking? Why can’t I read anything from her eyes or sense any thoughts from her mind?’ She wondered.

She was almost driven crazy, and hoped that someone could come to save her. She didn’t know how to communicate with an introverted kid!

‘What’s wrong?’ Lin Qiao asked the kid with her eyes.

However, the latter calmly looked at her without answering the question or making any response in her mind.

‘Why are you following me? Do you need me to do something? Or do you want to tell me anything?’ Lin Qiao tried to ask again by using sign language.

Still, Wu Yueling made no response but kept staring at her.

After she tried a few times, the little one remained silent and kept gazing at her without saying even one word. She didn’t’ hear anything from the child’s mind either.

‘There’s no way of communication. As people said, autistic children rarely let the others know about their thoughts. So, what should I do now? Why has she been tailing me? What does she want?’ Lin Qiao just didn’t know the answer.

The two of them silently gazed at each other for a couple of seconds. When Lin Qiao scratched her head and was prepared to give up, Wu Yueling finally made a move.

Before Lin Qiao turned around, she reached out her little hand and dragged Lin Qiao’s pants. Lin Qiao had found this pair of loose-fitting pants from the abandoned house near the strawberry field outside, and she needed to roll up the bottoms of the pant legs so that she wouldn’t step on them and fall.

Lin Qiao stopped after Wu Yueling pulled her pants, looking at the child with confusion. Next, she saw the kid pull her own clothes. Although her little face still showed no expression, a clear dislike was detected from her eyes by Lin Qiao.

‘I need to change clothes! These are dirty!’ Lin Qiao heard her saying in her mind.

‘Alright! You can just tell me that! I wouldn’t know what you want if you just silently follow me everywhere!’ Lin Qiao thought.

Thinking that the little one’s clothes were dirty, Lin Qiao also realized that the kid hadn’t showered for many days, so her body should be dirty as well. She must have felt uncomfortable, but didn’t know how to describe it; so, she told Lin Qiao that her clothes were dirty.

Lin Qiao didn’t expect this kid to be a neat freak. Most of the other kids wouldn’t mind that!

Since the kid wanted to change clothes, Lin Qiao decided to give her a bath first, and then let her wear some of those adult clothes which had been washed earlier. Wearing those adult clothes was convenient for her, as a top would become a little dress on her. How simple was that!

Lin Qiao also planned to wash those clothes which were ripped off those robbers, so that she could wear them herself after drying.

With that, she jumped into action once organizing these thoughts. She led Wu Yueling to the lakeside and told her to stay put while she went to find a cotton top and a tattered coat herself. After returning to the lakeside, she put these clothes on the clean ground.

She then squatted before Wu Yueling and looked at her while saying in her mind, ‘I’ll also give you a bath. Don’t move.’

Meanwhile, she unbuttoned Wu Yueling’s top with both hands. Wu Yueling didn’t know what was going on, but she stood still to cooperate with Lin Qiao’s moves.
